Does anyone know how to force Word 2007 to open all documents in draft mode
instead of print layout? I found where I can change individual files but I
want all existing and new documents to open in draft mode. My normal.dot is
saved in draft mode but new docs continue to open in print layout mode.

Further searching answered the new document portion of my question. For those
interested, this info can be found in the question titled:
Changing Default Format for New Doc in Word 2007 Reply dated: 1/30/2007

I would still like to know how to open all existing docs in draft mode if
anyone can help.

Hi ?B?U21va2VtYW5HUlA=?=,

I would still like to know how to open all existing docs in draft mode

that would require a macro named AutoOpen in your Normal.dotm template.
Something like this should work

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveDocument.Windows(1).View = wdNormalView
End Sub
